WEATHER UPDATE: It is predicted to be HOT! If temperatures are as hot as predicted, cleanup leaders will likely end the cleanup early for safety's sake. Follow instructions from your cleanup leader.
WHAT: Come help clean up Salter Grove in Warwick with Save The Bay and Friends of Salter Grove! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are an easy way for volunteers to make a difference.
WHERE: SEE MAP OF SALTER GROVE. You can use 461 Narragansett Parkway as an approximate GPS address for beach location. Please keep an eye out for a small sign on Narragansett Parkway for George B Salter Grove. Parking lot is small, carpooling is encouraged! NOTE: If we have enough volunteers, we may send a group to nearby Passeonquis Cove Fishing Access.
WHAT TO WEAR
- Dress for the weather! Remember it is often cooler and windier at the shore.

- Closed-toed shoes are required.
- Bring work gloves! We will have disposable gloves as well.
WHAT TO BRING
